Show your dog a treat and wait for it to notice it move the treat through the tunnel so he/she can see it all the time (this may involve you climbing through the tunnel backwards!!). Or you could put your dog at one end of the tunnel and stand at the other end and hope that they run through it.

Agility tunnels are expandable normally. To start the training bring the dog to the very short version of the tunnel normally about a half a foot long. Praise the dog for being there offer a treat. the place your self in a crouching position with the dog again at the open end of the tunnel and call it through - give praise and reward. continue this until the go on call come through the small tunnel without hesitation then, slightly expand the tunnel and try that a number of time until the dog is confident with it and with you being there to meet them (dogs will be scared to enter a confined space its natural. Take time to open the tunnel in length but continue to reward and praise - make a game of it and the dog will "play" running through
